About this app

The ukulele is a member of the guitar family of instruments. It generally employs four nylon or gut strings or four courses of strings. Some strings may be paired in courses, giving the instrument a total of six or eight strings.

The ukulele originated in the 19th century as a Hawaiian adaptation of the Portuguese machete, a small guitar-like instrument, which was introduced to Hawaii by Portuguese immigrants, mainly from Madeira and the Azores. It gained great popularity elsewhere in the United States during the early 20th century and from there spread internationally.

The tone and volume of the instrument vary with size and construction. Ukuleles commonly come in four sizes: soprano, concert, tenor, and baritone.

Are you wanting to learn to play the ukulele, but don't know where to begin? Well, you've come to the right place. We've broken down how to play ukulele chords into an easy digestible format. Learn a section at a time, or sit down and pull up a chair to memorize the whole enchilada.

Basic Ukulele Chords For Beginning Players
When you are just starting out with playing the ukulele it can be quite overwhelming, especially if it’s your first instrument ever. Difficult chord diagrams, painful fingers, strumming, feeling the rhythm, tablatures, etc… There are dozens of chords and hundreds of ways to play them. While the chords charts already shows you the easiest way to play all of the “main chords” (180 in total), it can be slimmed down quite a bit more.

Major Chords
Everything starts with the seven major chords: A B C D E F G (= La Ti Do Re Mi Fa Sol). The most important ones in this list are A C D E F and G. So basically all of them except the B chord. The B isn’t used that much luckily, because it isn’t that easy to play either. Another chord that isn’t easy to play is the E chord, unfortunately this one is used in quite a lot of songs. That’s why I’ve written a dedicated guide for this E chord.
Minor Chords
After the major chords, we have the minor chords. Minor chords are widely used and they can give the song a more intimate feel, while major chords are more uptempo and happy. The ones that are most important to learn when you are just starting out are Am, Dm and Em.
Seventh Chords
Some people may argue about this, but I personally think that 7th chords are also very important, and actually not that difficult to play either! They can add a groovy funky feeling to the song and are used a lot in jazz, soul, uptown songs. My favorite is the F7 but I would recommend learning all of them (except maybe the B7). It will also help you when improvising and changing things up to make a song sound more interesting.

Conclusion
In my opinion, these are the very basic chords that every ukulele player should begin with. You can pick a few to start with and then expand. If you know all the chords listed on this page (with a few exceptions), you will already be able to play a very wide range of songs. Keep in mind that you can always transpose a song to a different key to make it a little bit easier!
